JAMES HOLDEN, OF PHILADELPHIA7 PENNSYLVANIA.

COAL-SCUTTLE.

To atl whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMEs HOLDEN, ofthe city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Goal-Scuttle; and.I do hereby declare the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in making,l a coal-scuttle ot' a certain form, of wood, in combination with a protecting-case of metal or sheet-iron to preserve it from fire.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Figure l is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the front end.

Similar letters in each refer to the same parts.

The body of the scuttle is made of wood, and is composed of two Hat sides, a a2, and two Hat ends, t a3, and a Hat bottom, a4. These are secured together by screws, nails, or dovetailed, or other ways well known to carpenters,

and form a scuttle shaped as shown iu Fig. 1-

The end ct widens at the top and the end a3 narrows toward the top, forming the spout, from which the coa-l is poured. The bottom a* is narrower where it joins a3 than at the end which joins ct.

The upper and front part of the scuttle at B is incased in sheet-iron or metal either screwed or riveted onto the wood to protect it from re. The inside is also lined with a similar protect-ion, B', Fig. l. This does not eX- tend quite so far down as the outside covering. C is the handle.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is this:

As a new article of manufacture, a coalscuttle made of iat wooden sides shaped as described, in combination with the sheet-iron casing B B', substantially as described.
